Solar energy is leading and overtaking fossil fuels across Europe. The European Commission has targeted 600 GW of installed PV capacity by 2030, and the International Energy Agency has estimated that the need for 60 GW of new PV installations will be needed in 2023 to offset the loss of Russian imports. This growth represents a revolution in the distribution grids, which must adapt to the increasing solar PV capacity. Congestion issues are likely to emerge across Europe as a result.
The Solar Connection project was designed to address this challenge through a collaborative approach. Experts from the solar and distribution system operation (DSO) industries across Europe, came together to discuss grid integration optimisation, identify best practices, and develop joint solutions. To that purpose, Eurelectric and SolarPower Europe organised a series of three roundtables.
Solar Connection is the conclusive joint effort delivering the results of those roundtables. This is the first step in an advocacy campaign to bring industry recommendations to policymakers to ensure a smooth expansion and integration of solar electric power generation into the European grid.
The conference will take place in room P3C050.
Registration is closed but you can go straight to the room if you have a valid pass to the European Parliament.
